[PATCH 13/25] child: do not overlap on memcpy()

[Date Prev] [Date Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Date Index] [Thread Index]



Fix this compilation warning:

gcc -g -O2 -Wall -W -I. -DVERSION=\"4.00\"
-DDATADIR=\"/usr/local/share\" `pkg-config --cflags libtirpc`
-Wimplicit-fallthrough=2   -c -o child.o child.c
In function ‘parse_randomstring’,
    inlined from ‘child_run’ at child.c:465:8:
child.c:291:17: warning: ‘memcpy’ accessing 255 bytes at offsets 0 and 1
overlaps 254 bytes at offset 1 [-Wrestrict]
  291 |                 memcpy(str, str+1, sizeof(str)-1);

We fix this by using a copy of the string to a original string
so to avoid having memcpy() overlap.
